Generally speaking, lesbians are more affected by PCOS than Heterosexual women.[1] PCOS is associated with higher androgen production due to insulin resistance.
Do you know what decreases insulin resistance and changes gut microbiome composition? intermitent fasting.
A review published in Frontiers in Microbiology in 2020 suggested that women with PCOS tend to have less diverse gut bacteria, and the balance of different types of bacteria might also be altered. The causal relationship is obviously not clear.

- go_elmo 3y agoOk, lesbians have different microbiomes, nice to hear! Not relevant to the to be proven point that change to biome implies change in sexuality, none at all.

- go_elmo 3y agoThere are alt-right theories that nutrition also impacts brain development such that global south people can not get as intelligent as white people. Where do you draw the line between your theory and that theory?
- dragonwriter 3y agoNutrition demonstrably effects brain development, and this adversely effects both economically disadvantaged countries and economically disadvantaged populations in developed countries. That's not an alt-right theory. (No doubt, the alt-right has a very horrible “...and, therefore” for it, but that's a different issue.)
